along these lines:

\def\useGNUPLOTgraphic
  {\dotripleempty\douseGNUPLOTgraphic}

\def\douseGNUPLOTgraphic[#1][#2][#3]%
   {\itthirdargument
        \dodouseGNUPLOTgraphic[#1][#2][#3]%
    \else\ifsecondargument
        \def\docommand##1{\dodouseGNUPLOTgraphic[#1][##1][#3]}%
        \processcommalist[#2]\docommand
   \fi}

\def\dodouseGNUPLOTgraphic[#1][#2][#3]%
   {\getparameters[#1:#2][#3]}

etc etc

you can also check for \doifsssignmentelse{#2}{...}{...}
